Interested in this program. I’m not an athlete but I love the progression from something basic like single leg calf raises, that I can do and build off of! Good work and will be checking out for this
imo basketball shoes because its applicable force, you will never perform these hard cuts barefoot in a basketball game. But I would do a combination of both to build up the strength and foundation.
Just my opinion, this isn't a crazy hard cut so you wouldn't need the grip of basketball shoes. I would think working on the progression in barefoot shoes would give a good balance or foot, ankle and calf strength and reflexes. While also having grip to make the cuts.
My off season is starting soon and I want to start with very low intensity plyos and get to this over 4-8 weeks. Should I cut out explosives completely until I built a strong foundation or can I do some jumps while being in the first low intensity phase?
I’d consider myself a pretty active person. I go to the gym pretty regularly. But the fact that I tried these today and could barely do them with TWO feet AND plates touching is crazy. I didn’t realize how unstable my ankles/feet were.
@@gvgt6307 try not to do it on anything too soft like a pad or sand or something, as that increases ground contact time thus becoming slightly more of a muscular movement rather than a tendon-dominant cocontraction. Hard/Firm surface is best 😀
id suggest going to failure too, but its important to define failure in this context. if youre going til you literally need a break to keep doing this exercise, youre almost surely using your slow twitch fibers too much. go until you start to lose some of your bounce and explosiveness
@@theheebs100 Need to retrain the mind muscle connection, especially if you aren't use to it. Id go till you cant keep a normal steady rhythm, then switch feet. Eventually you will go for longer then you ever thought possible, this is where the gains really are towards the end rarely at the start. Your body needs to adapt to your new requests for motion, train soft you get soft results. Slowly over time your body will adapt and you will be a beast.
@@n0v494 Thats up to your body and mind control. Like i said before, start slow get the rhythm right then speed up after time till you feel you are out of sync (fatigue) then switch. rest or stretch, breathe, reset your mind and go again, switching legs as you go. repeat as needed daily, wont happen over night but it will happen, as with all things, lsowly learn the posture/rhythym/style first then ramp up or you will be going now where is a hurry.
Why does James harden and the nba keep getting injured though what are your guys thoughts about this? Like the injuries have been crazy what caused it literally every star or decent player or role players were getting injured
Build Ankle stiffness? I wake up with ankle stiffness everyday. Popping and cracking when I get out of bed. The more range of motion I increase in my ankle, the better my whole leg feels.. don’t you want a sharp shine angle according to your foot in athletics? You need ankle mobility for that. no?
In this context ankle “stiffness” is not referring to joint mobility but the property of the tendon. Tendon stiffness is the degree to which a tendon can withstand elongation when placed under stress. A “stiff” tendon can help transmit more force by creating a more powerful recoil.
The sheer thickness of Paul’s calves always amazes me.
He doesnt know what he have bro
Yes! Keeping my eyes out for that program. Trying to get athletic again after a long layoff is tough!
So intuitive
thank you Paul for always posting those amazing drills!! I love the way you explain the exercises!!!

reactive strength (plyometric movements) >>> general strength (main lifts)
Coach please a video on pre and post game stretching to reduce psins
This will be so important to improve my Step overs skill in soccer
Curious to know what logic went into your deciding on 20 seconds for this test
Bro I been doing this for like 2 years now cuz I used it as a warmup for basketball and cuz it burns. It works
This video is very informative I like it 👌
This should have SOOO many more views
Swell video, Paul. Real swell!
Thanks Paul
LINKS not working above, GREAT CONTENT !! thank you .
dad calves for the win!!! thanks for the tip!
Just saw it on Instagram🔥
so coated man you're such a blessing in my life 🦑🦑🦑
This is a gem I didn’t even know about
Thank you Brother
Really love your stuff coach 👌
Is it okay to do it with lines for beginners?
New program!!!
My shin splints are already crying. What can I do?
Who doesn't like free game haha thanks paul for the elite resources
Would this increase my vertical jump??
Do you ever increase the distance your hopping forward/backward?
Should this be done in basketball shoes or barefoot shoes? Or no shoes at all?
Had the same question. If you’re dealing with Achilles tendinopathy, what’s the general procedure on progressing with shoes to no shoes?

🦑🦑🦑yessir always coming in with the knowledge
Great content!
You teaching us how to tap dance lmao got some nice moves bro
Still asking your opinion on jumping rope
If I wanted to do this every other day how many sets a day per leg
My off season is starting soon and I want to start with very low intensity plyos and get to this over 4-8 weeks. Should I cut out explosives completely until I built a strong foundation or can I do some jumps while being in the first low intensity phase?
We have our daughter doing a lot of your Plyometrics for volleyball...

Is this good for building strength after an Achilles rupture?
How many sets?
Can I do this on concrete or on some padded mat?
Should be fine to do this on any surface as long as it isn’t slippery.
@@jordanlonnen6515 cool thanks

whats the point of having something to jump up on? could you not just jump forward on flat ground?
Aye 😂does anybody do this drill faster then you ?
what should I do if my shins hurt doing this
Love ut
i do something like this but more advanced should i post a video???
I don't have money to pay for your vert code
is there any way to get acess to the program for free????
ima need to do the broke version of this
is there any program that incorporates this drill? speed code?
do you stay in the balls of your feet or land and jump using the whole of your foot?
So with my weaker leg I should do 3 sets of 20 secs a day ?
Go to failure, rest and repeat I say.

Lack of rest. Fatigued muscles not being able to hold the weight of force theyre trying to apply.
What is this called?
Ankle stiffness excercise
Coach you have bigger fucking calves than Jack Grealish🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
is it fine to do this barefoot? My shoes got fcked up by rats :(
🦑🦑🦑🦑
Plantar fascism, is what it’s called.
🥲i can easily do with right foot and while doing with left foot it's too tough ankle stiffness is very imbalanced due to my sport cricket 🥲
I can understand

look at top athletes, they all have a very high level of ankle stiffness
